Outline and Purpose of the Course	This unit is for the students never study chemistry before or who wants to study chemistry from basic again. The objective of this unit is to understand the chemistry from super basics by solving and understanding various phenomena via chemistry. As everything is made of atoms or molecules, chemistry is an important subject when we consider environmental problems, food problems, and resource problems. This unit welcome students who want to learn chemistry from the basics, regardless of their background.
Course Goals	Understand the basics of chemistry and be able to discuss environmental problems, food problems, and resource problems, etc. in chemistry. Also, reflect your knowledge of chemistry in your learning or/and research theme.
Schedule and Contents	Week 1　Introduction What is chemistry? Will understand all things are made up of atoms and molecules. Week 2 Combustion What happens when things combust? Why do some combust, and some do not? Learn about combustion reactions. Week 3-5 Solid, liquid, gas Why are hard things hard? Why are soft things soft? Learn how elements, atoms, and molecules can change the properties of things. Week 6-8 Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids Why do humans eat? What kind of elements do foods contain? What is fermentation? Will understand the chemical reaction. Week 9-12 Plastics What are plastics? What kind of elements and molecules are they made of? What are biodegradable plastics? Will learn about polymers. Week 13-15 Chemical analysis Will explain how to investigate the chemical structure by analysis. Lectures will be run as face-to-face + several online lectures.
